"I will walk five thousand miles and I will walk five thousand more " Sang Kaito.
He was bored as he limped to the booth, he was in the Poirot Cafe and he was there waiting for Mouri Ran to come in like she did all the time with her father around this time. He knew her schedule and their routine he knew it very well and he knew everything that they usually do. But that was when Shinichi was Christie and now he barely paid attention to the Mouri's and what they did but he could only hope that she would turn up. He really did not think about it really until now, and he was now regretting it.
"Could I get a glass of water please?" he asked the waiter that passed him.
He was feeling dehydrated, and he needed to keep drinking to keep himself well and to take the medication down so that he would stay well and he would not get an infection. He realized he really should have stayed in bed maybe a day or two longer, after all he had just woke up from being shot and well the trauma could be too much for his body to handle.
The waiter turned around and a shiver went down his spine.
It was Bourbon.
"Tooru Amuro, I will be your waiter, Are you ready to order?" said Amuro.
He sat there nervously, but he kept his Poker face intact.
"No not just yet but a glass of water would be great" he said nervously.
He saw him right in down on the notepad and he bowed as he walked away.
He sighed relieved when he went away but shivered when he came back with the glass of water and the several more glasses he ordered because he was feeling far too hot.
He finally ordered his meal, and he ate it quick, he wanted the hell out of there after he had finally gotten his energy back and was feeling a lot less hot. He got up and paid to ready to leave.
"Kaito!" said Ran.
He met her at the door as he was ready to go out she was ready to go in.
"Ran" he said happily and nervously.
"What are you doing here?" she said.
"...?" said Kaito he was thinking and he had nothing that he could say, right now he was winging it.
"Did you see her?" said Ran loud and hopeful.
Making heads turned and Kaito panic as he covered her mouth and he pushed her out of the door to get away from everyone and pushed her into the street.
He looked back making sure that no one was watching or following them out and they were not, they were all far too used to the strange behaviour that was displayed from the Mouri's so this was nothing and as he closed the door behind him he let his hand drop from her mouth. As he turned around ready to talk all he saw was a flash of a fist heading towards him and he was slammed against the door like a bug on a window, he was flattened like a bug on a wind shield.
"Ouch" He screamed in pain as he tried to peel himself off.
He turned round clutching at his face and he faced her, she was angry had her fist raised and she was ready for another round of pummelling him.
He waved his hands in the air surrendering.
"Hey, hey I only came here to talk and..." said Kaito.
"So, you did see her?" said Ran.
"...! " he nervously said sweating.
They both could feel the tension in the air.
"Do you want to go upstairs, and we can talk in private?" said Ran.
He nodded.
They were now sitting in the Detective Agency in silence not knowing what to say to each other while they gave each other awkward glances.
"Shinichi is she ok?" said Ran finally breaking the ice.
"..." He said.
"Tell me when you saw her, is she ok and is she? What is happening just tell me already" said Ran fiercely and crying.
He looked up.
"I didn't see her" he said.
"Huh" said Ran sounding disappointed and she was physically showing it as well.
"But she did phone me last night" said Kaito.
"She did?" said Ran shocked.
"I got a call last night too, but there was only silence and they ended up hanging up. Do you think that was Shinichi?" said Ran hopeful.
"Yes...she did the same to me until I called her 'Shin-Chan and called her out on it I knew it was her" said Kaito.
"Yeah calling her Shin-Chan definitely gets a reaction from her" said Ran laughing.
They both laughed in a moment of happiness.
"Is? ...She back to herself?" said Ran.
In that moment he knew that she knew that Shinichi was Christie but she was too afraid to say it, they both were really and one of them had to say it.
"I don't know if Shinichi is back to herself just yet she might be still Shirley but I think she is back to being Shin-Chan she used her own voice and there was no childish voice at all" said Kaito.
He saw Ran flinch and almost fall.
"So you are really Kaitou Kid?" said Ran.
Now it was his time to physically flinch.
"And you are alive, does that mean that Shinichi was the one that saved you?" said Ran.
"...?" he said.
She was inspecting him.
He was still in fear and in shock.
"Look since Shinichi did not hand you in, I will not either. I will trust her judgement for now" said Ran.
He was able to breathe, and he relaxed back into the chair.
PUNCH
"Hey what was that for?" he said dramatically.
"For everything that you have done, disguising as me twice and knocking me out, same for my dad, not to mention..." said Ran going in.
"Ok, ok I get it" said Kaito.
"So where is she?" said Ran.
"I don't know but she is in more danger than ever I was hoping that you might know something" said Kaito.
"Well...I"said Ran trembling.
"What?" said Kaito hopeful.
"Her parents they are...they were in a car crash...I overheard Megure talking about it and..." said Ran sadly.
"When was this?" said Kaito.
"Five days ago" she said.
He froze.
"They can't be" said Kaito sadly.
"You mean you think they are...!" said Ran.
"She sounded different, and I just don't know" said Kaito.
RING
There was a moment of silence was interrupted.
She looked at her phone.
"Megure?" she answered.
"W-what?" said Ran shocked.
She hung up the phone.
"W-what, what is happening?" said Kaito scared.
Ran was now crying.
"It's Shinichi..." said Ran in shock.
"What has she been found, is she ok?" said Kaito.
"No it is not that" said Ran.
"Then what?" said Kaito.
But she remained silent.
He sat there quietly waiting for her to answer because she was in shock.
"Hey what is that smell?" he said standing up.
"It is the Kudo Mansion" said Ran.
He turned around shocked.
"Her house was set on fire, and it has been burnt to the ground and they think that they might have found a body in it" said Ran crying.
He ran out of there straight away and ran to the house.
But he already saw the smoke as he choked on it as he ran and he saw it the fire and the smoke, he wasn't even at the Mansion yet and he could see it. As everyone saw people being evacuated and people were watching, he knew that the Mansion was now gone and maybe she was gone too.
He stopped to take a breath, but it was much worse than he thought it was.
He began to sweat, and his throat was on fire.
He was exhausted and he touched his side.
He was bleeding again.
He was starting to see red.
And everything went to black.
He woke up again.
And this time he knew where he was, he was back in the Detective Agency and he was in a bed that belonged to Mouri Ran.
"You are awake Kuroba?" said Hakuba.
He jumped at that point.
"Hakuba?" he said confused sitting up.
"I found you collapsed near the Kudo Mansion and The Mouri girl here chasing after you and we took you back here. And I took care of your wounds, that are suspiciously the same ones that Kaitou Kid was supposed to have and are similar to what a gunshot wound would look like. But it already looks like someone has taken great care of them. Do you mind telling me who that is?" said Hakuba.
"...?" said Kaito.
"Hakuba I thank you for your help but I think it is best that you leave" said Ran.
"But Mouri..." said Hakuba.
She scowled an evil look at him that startled him.
"Fine...I will go Mour, Kuroba but I will want answers and soon or I will start looking for them" said Hakuba and he closed the door behind him.
"Do you think...?" said Ran.
But she was interrupted by Kaito hushing her by putting his lips on his fingers telling her to be quiet. He walked towards the door, and he pulled at the handle opening the door quickly and Hakuba fell to the ground shocking Ran.
Kaito just smiled smugly.
Hakuba just looked mortified and embarrassed.
"I was just..." said Hakuba trying to think.
"Ease dropping, stalking, hearing in and being you rude self.
"Hey" said Hakuba defending himself.
They were both silenced by the sound of Ran cracking her knuckles.
"I will just see you out the door" said Ran.
And she did as she pulled him by the collar and chucked him out, they both watched as he left the Agency and gets into a car.
Kaito then smiled.
"What?" said Ran.
"Hakuba we gave me a lead" said Kaito.
"Huh?" said Ran.
"I was shot, and someone had to take care of me and I think I know who it was" said Kaito.
"Who?" said Ran,
"Your friend and doctor" said Kaito.
"Dr Araide" said Ran.
They both smiled as they had a lead in which they could find Shinichi and...
"WHAT THE HELL IS A GUY DOING IN YOUR BED? !" screamed Kogoro.
"Dad...it is not what you think" said ran going red.
He saw the anger and the protective aura coming towards him as Ran tried her best to keep him back but he could see that the old police officer still had some strength and training to go with it.
He did the only thing he could do and usually does.
He opened the window and scaled the building running for his life and leaving the mess for someone else to deal with. And run as fast as he could and calls Jii at the same time for him to come and collect him, he really did this a lot now that he was thinking about it.
Besides he had a job to do now and a lot of research.
He was going to find his Shin-Chan and the mysterious Angel he could just feel it.
But first he had to get out if Beika and away from the Mouri father.
And now Ran would be mad at him and Hakuba was onto him more than ever he had to do something about it or at least distract him while he healed.
